Water Margin: My 108 Heroes Come from All Heavens

"Since you, brother, are of the Azure Phoenix King's bloodline, then you are a demon!"

Black Wind completely lowered his guard and had no more doubts: "Don't worry, once we're at Lion Camel Ridge, we're on our own turf. Although I, Black Wind, am not a big shot, my words still carry some weight in this small area!"

"Thank you, Brother Wolf!"

Liang Shan was moved to tears.

Black Wind turned its head away.

He roared at the lesser demons, "What are you all standing there for? Bring out the spirit fruits! Bring out the best spirit fruits!"

The little demons dared not slack off.

They quickly carried out plates of spiritual fruits from the depths of the cave.

Crimson berries, jade melons, purple grapes...

Although the condition is average.

But in a place like Lion Camel Ridge, it's already considered a rare find.

Liang Shan didn't stand on ceremony and grabbed the spiritual fruit, stuffing it into his mouth.

The spiritual fruit entered the stomach.

It transformed into a surging stream of heat, flowing into the dantian, and subtly increased one's cultivation level.

"Eat slowly, little brother, there's more if you're not full!"

Black Wind diligently poured wine for him.

After a meal.

Black Wind has completely accepted Liangshan as one of his own.

He patted his chest and assured him, "Brother, don't worry, I'll take you to see the three great demon kings tomorrow and get you a good job!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Wolf."

Liangshan flapped its wings.

"No trouble at all!"

Black Wind brandished its claws, its face beaming with a grin: "But little brother, if you ever make it big in front of the Demon King, don't forget about me!"

"That's natural."

The two demons exchanged a glance.

They laughed out loud at the same time.

……

The next morning.

Dark clouds loomed overhead over Lion Camel Ridge, and an eerie aura filled the sky.

Eight hundred miles of mountains.

Countless lesser demons poured out from the caves in all directions, converging on the highest mountain peak in the center.

Black Wind woke Liang Shan up early in the morning: "Brother, get up quickly! The Third King is holding a gathering of demons today, so I'll take you to pay your respects!"

Liang Shan flapped his wings and walked out of the cave.

His eagle eyes still looked a little sleepy.

He cultivated in the Immortal Jade Space all night, refining the five elements of Qi, and his cultivation improved even further.

"A gathering of demons?"

He raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.

"I've heard that the Third King recently received a secret order from the Demon Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, instructing Lion Camel Ridge to intensify its predation on humans, expand its demon army, and coordinate with the frontline battles to try and kill Yue Fei of the Song Dynasty!"

Black Wind lowered his voice and spoke mysteriously.

Liang Shan's heart sank.

To know.

The three demon kings of Lion Camel Ridge alone are extremely ferocious, and each of them is a top-level Celestial Realm expert.

Not to mention the legendary demon emperor of the Jin Dynasty.

Even with such a lineup, Yue Fei managed to hold them off for decades, unable to break through the Song Dynasty's defenses.

This is Yue Fei.

What kind of existence is it exactly?

"Let's go, let's go, don't delay the demon gathering."

Black wind dragged Liangshan along.

It transformed into a gust of demonic wind and rushed outwards, crossing one mountain after another.

What I saw along the way.

They were all strange and grotesque demons.

Some had bull heads and human bodies, some had broad shoulders and thick waists, some were covered in scales, and some had wings on their backs. Each of them exuded a fierce aura, and were at least at the Refining Essence Realm or higher.

Not long after.

The two demons arrived at the foot of the central main peak.

Look up.

A magnificent palace stands atop the mountain, constructed entirely of black stone, exuding grandeur.

A huge plaque hangs above the palace gate—Lion Camel Hall.

In front of the palace was a vast square, now filled with demons of all sizes, numbering at least hundreds of thousands.

Liangshan and Heifeng squeezed into the crowd and found a place near the front.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Three drumbeats sound.

The palace gates burst open with a roar.

Three terrifying auras swept out from the hall, like three mountains pressing down on all the demons present.

Liang Shan felt a sudden heaviness all over his body, and even breathing became difficult.

"Is this what a powerful demon of the Celestial Realm is like?"

He felt a chill run down his spine.

The aura of these three demons was in no way weaker than that of the monstrous dragon.

Three figures emerged from the hall and sat on three enormous stone chairs in front of it.

On the far left is a three-zhang-tall blue-haired lion with mane as sharp as steel needles, each hair standing on end.

It was none other than the Great King, the Green-haired Lion Spirit.

In the middle was a more robust old elephant with yellow tusks. Its two tusks were like two curved knives, and the breath it exhaled from its nostrils carried a fishy smell, causing the little demons in the front row to stagger.

It was the Second King, the Yellow-Toothed Elephant.

The far right...

He was a tall, slender middle-aged man.

His face was sinister.

Hooked nose.

Golden light shone in his narrow eyes, and a pair of black wings were folded at his sides, with the tips touching the ground.

It was none other than the Three Kings, the Golden-Winged Roc.

"Greetings to the Three Kings!"

Tens of thousands of demons shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens and echoing throughout the eight-hundred-mile-long Lion Camel Ridge.

"Get up, everyone."

The demons then gradually stood up.

The green-maned lion glanced at the group of demons and said loudly, "I have summoned you all here today for an important matter."

The square fell silent instantly.

Tens of thousands of eyes were fixed on the blue-maned lion.

"The Demon Emperor has decreed that Lion Camel Ridge must intensify its predation on humans and expand its demon army to support the frontline battles!"

The blue-maned lion's voice echoed through the mountains, its tone brooking no argument: "From this day forward, each mountain peak must offer tribute to one hundred humans every month, without fail!"

This statement came out.

The square immediately erupted in chaos.

"One hundred? There were only thirty last month!"

"Now that all the humans in Lion Camel Ridge have been eaten to extinction, where are we going to capture so many people?"

"Exactly! Isn't this going to kill us?"

The demons complained bitterly, and their faces turned ugly.

"What's all the noise about?!"

The Golden-Winged Roc, which had been silent until now, suddenly spoke, its voice like thunder, making the eardrums of the demons buzz.

His gaze swept across the entire room.

With a tone of disappointment and frustration, he said, "Humans cultivate day and night, while you are lazy and negligent. If you had even half the effort of humans, I wouldn't have gone to such lengths to refine human pills to enhance your strength!"

The demons were scolded until their faces turned red.

Yet they dared not refute, and all of them lowered their heads.

"Alright, alright."

The old elephant with yellow tusks tried to smooth things over, saying, "Third brother, don't say anymore. They've had it tough too."

"Not easy?"

The Golden-Winged Roc sneered, "I think they're too easygoing. They just eat and sleep all day long, and they're so lazy! And they think they can fight against the human race?"

Liang Shan stood in the crowd, quietly observing the three demon kings.

The blue-haired lion spirit was calm and dignified.

He seems like an old-fashioned leader.

The old elephant with yellow tusks tries to smooth things over; he's a typical peacemaker.

The Golden-Winged Roc, on the other hand, displayed its sharp edge and seemed to be a king among men.

only……

What the hell is that "human pill"?

"Human pills, huh..."

Black Wind lowered his voice, leaned close to Liang Shan's ear, and said mysteriously, "It's a pill made from human flesh."

"Using people to refine pills?"

Liang Shan's pupils contracted slightly, and a surge of anger shot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

These demons.

Not only do they treat people as food, but they also use them as medicine?!

"Brother, don't underestimate this human pill."

Black Wind licked his lips, his eyes filled with longing: "The Third King is a Golden-Winged Roc with the bloodline of an ancient phoenix. The human pills he refines can greatly enhance the cultivation of our demon race, more effective than eating a hundred mortals!"

P.S.: It will be available tomorrow.
